While we still giggle over last week’s blunder with the coffee cup, this week’s almost-blunder caused a bit more of a stir.
Fans -who were on the lookout for any new mistakes in the latest episode; found a reason to be excited when a picture of Jamie and Cersei Lannister surfaced with Jamie’s real hand showing, instead of the fake gold one we’re used to.
As the image made its round, fans were calling out HBO for making another huge mistake.
But according to HBO, that mistake never made it into the final cut of the episode. (We went back and checked, it’s true.)

Jaime lost his hand in season three when he saved Brienne of Tarth and of course, the showrunners wouldn’t let that pass into the final cut. So where did that picture come from?
Fox News reported that HBO said that the “error did not make it into the actual episode but only appeared in a promotional still.”

Mystery solved! The unedited-hand picture is actually from a promo that appeared on HBO’s website before the episode aired.
According to show photographer, Helen Sloan, who spoke to BuzzFeed, most of these promotional pictures are taken on set before CGI comes into place.

Phew! That’s one blunder avoided!
